GM will not recal the computer for larger than stock. You will have to get a custom tune or god forbid a programmer to do that

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

With such a small difference in tire size, does it really matter? Is there any benefit to it?

His statement is incorrect. GM WILL re-calibrate it but they wont do anything for your particular size yet. The only size they've done right now is 35-36"

 

Only thing is a piece of mind, as long as you're aware you're actual speed is higher that displayed you're fine.

 

Programmer will void warranty even for just tire size because they can not tell a difference between different tunes, just logs as a change. Before anyone says it; GM can't technically void a warranty like that but good luck fighting them for it.

Thanks for the info! I think I will be better off just leaving well enough alone!!

Just ask your dealer periodically if they can fix it for you. As of now there shouldn't be anything

A GPS or smartphone will tell you how fast you're going compared to what the speedometer says, then you can adjust accordingly.

I am looking to change the stance of my 2014 silverado 4x4 and have been doing a lot of reading on the topic. I have a few questions I am hoping you all can help me with before I place my order.

 

1) I plan on going with the rough country 2.5 leveling + 1 rear. I park in a parking ramp at work with 7' max clearance will my truck still fit with ease?

 

2) I plan on putting on 20" wheels with +18 offset. For tires I want Nitto Terra Grapplers I am debating on going with either 305/55/r20 P rated tires or 275/65/r20 LT rated tires.

A) Will either of these fit with no rubbing once so ever even at full lock?

B) Which option would give me better ride quality?

C) Which option would give me better mpg?

 

I appreciate everyone's help!

1) with ease..? It will be close I think. I just went in a 8'6 structure today and seemed to be enough room with a 2.5" only Front level. Maybe someone with a RC Kit can get a measurement

2)IF it were nMe I would go with the 305s cause your speedo wont be off as much and the trans will be happier selecting gears

A) seems people with 305s and stockers, rub the front sway but with +18 it would prob clear that but then could possibly make contact with the fender linners.

B) both LT should ride the same. youll Notice the level more

C) thats a toss up since 305s are wider so they have a higher rolling resistance but the 275s are an inch taller but thinner for a lower rolling resistance. It'll come down to weight vs rolling resistance IMO so no real #s to compare. I'd pick which ever ones look better to ya.

Was this on stock tires? If so, can you get me a picture from further away. I'm trying to decide if I like it with the stock tires or if I need to wait until I can afford 33's. Thanks in advance.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
